ABSENT AWARDEES

Well here's a classic. In the past, deceased persons were given posthumous awards. Now they are referred to as being "absent for various reasons".

Media Watch heard this classic on TV6 in Marcia Hope's story on the media "luminaries". George John and Raffie Knowles were said to be absent because they had passed away earlier in the year.
Marcia did your producer check that script?
